"Hacking"

Hacking is defined as the use of a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system.

Three Hacking programs/issues are as follows:

1. Playstation Network: This hack happened in 2011 when a group of hackers hacked into the PS Network that affected more than 70 million gamers. This hack resulted in the network being voluntarily shut down for an extended period of time until Sony fixed the issue and made it safe for users again.

2.  Ebay: Earlier in 2014 Ebay admitted that it had been hacked and that nearly 233 million users were vulnerable. This hack which was said to be done by the Syrian Electronic Army breached Ebay and took personal information of the users and compromised credentials. They did not however gain financial information as it was stored in a separate secure location, PayPal. 

3. Dominos Pizza: The Rex Mundi hacking group hacked into the Domino servers and stole over 600,000 Belgium and French customer records. The hackers held the pizza chain customer info for ransom for $40,000 or they would publicly post the information. The hack was possible because they had vulnerable databases.

CSIS: The Good, The Bad and the What's behind the Curtain!?

CSIS, is the Canadian Security Intelligence Service or what the conspiracists call Canada's Spy Agency. This agency protects the privacy and well-being of our country. Bill C-44 was passed in the House of Commons shortly after a terrorist attack in Ottawa, also known as the day Canada lost its innocence. What this bill does is give a farther reach for CSIS in investigation threats both on home soil and abroad. 

The good with this bill enactment is further protection of our individual rights and freedoms. Our country takes threats seriously and will enforce if necessary. The bad of this bill enactment is loss of privacy. It is a bittersweet edge to a bill of this nature. Our free flowing society locks down and suspicions raise with higher security.

What's behind the curtain? What are the ulterior motives in a bill of this magnitude for an Agency of that caliber. Those are the questions that conspiracy theorists are gnawing on and maybe one day it will be answered.

Let's get a little random here, shall we?

"I'm the king of my own land,

Facing Tempests of dusk,

I'll fight until the end.

Creatures of my dreams raise up,

and dance with me.

Now and forever, I am King."
